What a weekend I had! A friend was in Halifax to do an exam on Thursday (which he passed. yay!) so he stayed up for the weekend. To celebrate his new certification as Chief Mate, I took him to Anatolia Thursday evening for supper.
Seeing as it was a nice day Friday, I took the day off and we took a drive down to Lunenburg, because I had never been there. I was looking forward to seeing the Bluenose II, but unfortunately she was not there. It was a cute little town though, and of course, I had to stop at Have a Yarn in Mahone Bay. It's a surprisingly big store and they had some lovely things, but I managed to restrain myself from buying anything, which was hard, because there was a burgundy skien of Hand Maiden Cashmere Silk that I was quite enamored with.
This is a bit of the Lunenburg waterfront.
And this is a car I saw parked on the street there. I did laugh at it, and I took a picture!
I had knitted up this kitty a while ago and just got around to seaming it yesterday. It didn't turn out quite right. It's head is too wide and too short and the body is weird. I guess that's what you get for not doing a gauge swatch. He looks kinda mean in this picture too! He's guarding my iMac with one of his nine lives. Pattern for kitty found here, knit with some scrap dk acrylic on size 2 needles.
The highlight of the weekend though was our outing Saturday night!!! Where did we go? Well here's a hint!!!!
It was a great show, a little pricey, but very much worth it. Lumière and Gaston were especially well played. My only complaint is that they made it much longer by adding some pretty weak songs, but all in all a very entertaining show, and of course, amazing company to enjoy it with.

Sounds like you had a great fin de semaine with your friend. He must be a really good friend.
Sounds like a great weekend. I really enjoyed Beauty and the Beast when I went with my sister a while ago. I wasn't really a fan of the extra songs. We also watched the dvd (borrowed from my sister's coworker) to watch the night before and those songs are 'seamlessly' added to the movie.
